The pictures I have for my contacts are all synced with my Facebook pictures. The contact pictures are visible when scrolling through people, but in my favourites group, they are absent. Same thing goes with my People widget. The contact pictures are not visible. Does anyone have the same problem or knows how do help?

Hi,
I recently started using the HTC contacts widget and already hit trouble.
I did a search for anything related to "contacts" and "widget" but I found no threads describing this problem.
- I have all my contacts stored as Google contacts (with photos). Some of my contacts have their facebook account linked to them.
- Photos I selected for ALL my contacts are Google photos.
- I created a new group (called Speed Dial) and included all the people I wanted to show in the contacts widget.
And now for the problem... I added about 10 people to the widget, some of them have a facebook account linked some of them don't. When I first added them all the appropriate Google photos were shown (although they were blurry but I could live with that).
However, anytime I sync my contacts or restart the phone ALL the photos are reset to Facebook photos. Not only for the contacts included in contacts widget but for ALL contacts that have a facebook account linked to them.
Is this a bug, a feature or just me being stupid and missing some fundamentals?
Does anyone have a tip or an advice?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: If this is just another buggy HTC widget then I have one more question
Is there a nice, good looking contacts widget for Desire? What do you guys use?
I've experienced the same and would prefer the photo I choose to appear instead of the facebook one. A friend of mine has his cat as his facebook contact photo and this keeps coming up on my phone. If anyone has some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
I have my contacts linked to Facebook but when the person changes their pic on Facebook the contact pic doesn't change...anyone know why?

go to settings and sync ur facebook contacts
As we all know the unresolved low resolution contact photos bug still exists in Android, even after 2+ years. By this I mean if you sync your contacts with Google then you only get the 75x75 pixel contact photo show up when you call/get called by someone, all pixellated and horrible.
I found a workaround for this somewhere on XDA which works - create a new "phone" contact with a nice high res pic for each person, and then link it to your Google contact, selecting the high res picture as the default.
Unfortunately I didn't set up my Facebook for Sense yet. If I do this now, will the phone overwrite my preference for the "phone contact" picture with a Facebook picture? Meaning I would have to go through each contact again, selecting the "phone contact" pic? I don't have time to go through all these again, I'd rather not bother with Facebook for Sense...
I don't know for sure, since my Facebook for Sense is all setup, but I'm pretty sure it will overwrite it when you sync with it, yes. I changed some of my contact pictures from their Facebook pics to some other ones, but next time I sync'd Facebook it went back to the Facebook pics.
I got my DHD for Xmas, and the snafu with the photos is unbelievable.
Not only my phone WON'T remember that I have chosen a mobile/google photo for a contact, and instead reverts to fB, but also the fact that it uses a low-res pic is not simply a bug - it's idiotic. The funny thing is that for a while, at least for a specific contact, it kept a nice high-res photo...
Argh!
hi guys, i dont know if i am in the right thread and if its diffrent from phone to phone (if not, mods please move this thread.)
but my question is,
how can i choose a contact photo and make it stay. most of the time i use the phone contact picture and not facebook. i already disabled facebook and twitter for htc sense.
but still the standard twitter and facebook app changes my contact pictures. and i dont like it. i would like to have the picture i choose stay. is there any way?
i still like the linking to facebook and twitter just dont like the automatic picture change, every time my phone synchronizes with facebook, it chages the pictures. ist allright that it updates the picture for the facebook account but in the htc contact app i only want to see my pictures i selected.
because the other thing is. i am using launcher pro plus and using the contact widget and this one cant display the facebook pictures. i dont know why. but sometimes i dont even like the facebook pictures. would be great if somebody could help.
Thanks a lot
i'm having a problem with my contacts.. i can't seem to change the pictures for any of them. when i try to select a new photo, after cropping the photo, a single photo becomes the contact picture. it happens to all my contacts.. anyone else experiencing this?
on kyanrom with jellybomb and fre3-gs3..
